Thermal elevation and residual chlorine pollution are two anthropogenic stressors that co-occur in estuarine waters affected by coastal power plant effluents. A 30-day exposure experiment was established with six treatment combinations comprising three temperatures (27 °C, 28 °C, and 30 °C) and two residual chlorine concentrations (0 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L) on Meretrix meretrix. Sampling was conducted on days 0, 10, 20 and 30 of t...

The optimal temperature for photosynthesis (Topt), the temperature at which photosynthesis peaks, is crucial for estimating gross primary production (GPP). Most models, however, apply biome‐specific Topt, overlooking the spatial and temporal variability driven by the genetic adaptation and interannual thermal acclimation of plants, thus introducing systematic error in GPP estimation. We mapped Topt of Tibetan Plateau (TP) gras...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different feeding-promoting substances added to high plant protein diets on the growth, antioxidant, serum biochemical parameters, immune, and feeding-related genes of Procambarus clarkii. A total of 450 crayfish (3.94 ± 0.03 g) were selected and randomly divided into six groups, with each group consisting of three replicates and 25 crayfish per replicate. The crayfis...

This study employs the Coupled-Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment-Transport (COAWST) modeling system to quantitatively assess the seasonal suspension, transport, and annual fate of Pearl River-derived sediment (riverine slow-settling single fine grains and high-settling flocs) on the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea (SCS). Following careful model validation, a series of sensitivity experiments were conducted to in...
